brake fluid

[madmike1]

i have emptied the brake fluid from my car and i was just woncering if i could just pr new stuff in or is there a special technique that is needed to stop air from getting into the pipes?

if you have emptied it you have air in it??!! Your going to have fun bleeding that!!!

 

[Sami]

You've actually bled it dry

I would invest in a hand bleed pump, cheaper methods are going to take you the best part of Saturday

EDIT: something like this..

Just waiting for a future post . " just bled my brakes , but they are still spongy " :quiet:

lol. rookie mistakes.

i dont think there was any other way of doing it though as i had to disconect the brake lines and keep them disconected for a while. therefore i needed the system free of fluid.
